Patent EP-1577793-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BRILL ERIC D
IPC: G06F40/191

Abstract: The present invention leverages iterative transformations of search query strings along with statistics extracted from search query logs  and / or  web data to provide possible alternative spellings for the search query strings. This provides a spell checking means that can be influenced to provide individualized suggestions for each user. By utilizing search query logs, the present invention can account for substrings not found in a lexicon but still acceptable as a search query of interest. This allows a means to provide a higher quality proposal for alternative spellings, beyond the content of the lexicon. One instance of the present invention operates at a substring level by utilizing word unigram  and / or  bigram statistics extracted from query logs combined with an iterative search. This provides substantially better spelling alternatives for a given query than employing only substring matching. Other instances can receive input data from sources other than a search query input.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system for providing a projection beam of radiation, a support structure for supporting patterning structure for imparting a pattern to the projection beam, a substrate table for holding a wafer and a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target portion of the wafer. In order to permit control of the radiation dose at the wafer so that the throughput of wafers can be optimised, a variable attenuator A is provided to vary the intensity of the projection beam while not changing the position of the beam. The variable attenuator A comprises two parallel mirrors 21 and 22 positioned such that an input beam of radiation is incident on a first of the mirrors 21 by which it is reflected towards a second of the mirrors 22 by which the beam is reflected to produce an output beam of radiation of required intensity for input to the illumination system, and a tilting mechanism for tilting the mirrors 21 and 22 such that the mirrors 21 and 22 remain parallel to one another and the angles of incidence of the beams on the mirrors 21 and 22 are changed so as to vary the intensity of the output beam. This allows the intensity of the projection beam to be varied continuously without changing the position of the beam, whether the input beam is converging, diverging or parallel.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a mapping-data analyzing method that can display a map in which sufficient information is extracted from the spectra of obtained mapping data to enable objective analysis. The mapping-data analyzing method of the present invention is used for analyzing mapping data obtained by measuring, with a spectrometer apparatus, spectra at a plurality of points on a specimen surface. The method comprises a principal-component calculating step and a grouped-map display step. In the principal-component calculating step, spectral data obtained at each point on the specimen surface is defined as an individual sample and principal component analysis, in which values at a plurality of wavenumbers of each spectral data set serve as variables, is performed to calculate the scores of a plurality of principal components for each individual sample. In the grouped-map display step, the points on the specimen surface are divided into a plurality of groups based on the scores of a plurality of principal components calculated in the principal-component calculating step and a two-dimensional or three-dimensional map indicating to which group each point on the specimen surface belongs is displayed on a display device.

Abstract: A method and computer-readable medium are provided for fitting text to shapes within a graphic. According to the method, initial constraints are defined that comprise initial values describing how a shape and text within the shape should be laid out. Constraint rules are also defined for use in modifying the initial constraints when application of the initial constraints to the text in a shape results in the text overflowing the boundaries of the shape. A change may be detected to the graphic that would affect the size or position of one or more of the shapes or the text within one of the shapes. If such a change causes text to overflow when laid out using the initial constraints, the constraint rules are applied sequentially to modify the constraints. The modified constraints are then reapplied to the shapes to create a new layout for the graphic.

Abstract: Es wird ein Netzteil für die Gleichspannungsversorgung eines aus einem Wechselspannungsnetz gespeisten Elektrogerätes vorgeschlagen, insbesondere ein Netzteil für ein durch einen Universalmotor antreibbares Elektrowerkzeug wie beispielsweise eine Schlagbohrmaschine. Die hierzu benötigte Konstantspannungsquelle enthält die Reihenschaltung eines Konstantspannungselementes (40), eines Gleichrichterelementes (48) und eines Vorwiderstandes (44,46), welcher zumindest teilweise (44) gemeinsam mit dem Konstantspannungselement (40) durch eine Pufferkapazität (52) überbrückt ist. Hierdurch liegt die Pufferkapazität auf einem deutlich höheren Spannungsniveau als die benötigte Gleichspannung (U), wodurch diese einerseits deutlich schneller bereitgestellt wird und andererseits nur eine sehr geringe Pulsation aufweist. Eine so erzeugte Gleichspannung (U) eignet sich sehr gut sowohl zur Speisung einer Steuereinheit des Elektrogerätes wie auch zur Speisung von zusätzlichen Verbrauchern, wobei die geringe Pulsation der Gleichspannung beispielsweise bei der Speisung von Leuchtdioden als zusätzlichen Verbrauchern die Schwankung der Leuchtstärke zumindest soweit reduziert, dass sie für das menschliche Auge nicht mehr erkennbar ist (Figur 1).

Abstract: The present invention provides a flicker correction method comprising the steps of predicting, from an image of a present flicker-corrected frame, a flicker of an image of a next frame to generate two types of flicker images having flickers different in level from each other added thereto, detecting a flicker component through comparison between the generated two types of flicker images and an image of an input next frame, generating a flicker correction value on the basis of the detected flicker component, and making flicker correction by adding the generated flicker correction value to an input image frame by frame. In this way, even when the light intensity of the light source varies, the flicker correction can thus be made flexibly.
